Scoring scheme is not fixed. It is fluctuating regardless of your continuous activity.

Dear Dr. Md Zafar Alam Bhuiyan , I am really enjoying the scientific fruits from the global scientific communities very smoothly!!!

Beemnet Mengesha Kassahun

But I had some bad experiences. One fellow from a developed country had been continuing his bad comments, vulgar and some optimistic words many times though requested him not to do. I sent my feedbacks to RG. Finally I blocked him but still he is doing the same. How this is I don't know.

Regards

Not all the peer reviewed journals are listed in RG data base.

Karan Sotoodeh

Yes, That is another limitation.

Thanks

Very few peoples as a experty for the concerned subject (This might the asked question not to reach the RG member or not intrested to answer)

Sharad Medhe

Yes, You are right . This is not my question. Still I will say its positive that many people get chance to read , write , download research without cost or very minimum cost. I think its positive.

Thanks

There are several problems, including the delivery of ideas in several languages ​​and the scale of the calculation in RG

C. Lewis Kausel

Yes, this is the issue from the privacy concern for a person need to be deleted from the profile link and other should be marked as automatically.

Thanks

Firas Saadallah

Yes, the language choice option may be adopted . And I think there are some rules for the scoring which are not cleared even to many scientists.

Regards

I believe that there is no limitation in present Researchgate analysis system.

What are the limitations of ResearchGate ? Have you faced any problem with it?

Not sure this is a limitation in RG - I can't seem to download all the Q&As that I have participated. If anyone knows the way please feel free to share. Thanks.

Perhaps copyright infringement of some work not open for public is uploaded on researchgate as full text accessible through this network...

Unnecessary contributions to issues.

I am very happy and I know and have been acquainted with research and professors from different nationalities and scientific disciplines.

Han Ping Fung Segun Michael Abegunde

Definitely its a problem.

Scoring is so engmatic

Asking unnecessary questions ...

Not capturing all your citations. Again, inability to detect and upload new publication to your profile automatically without uploading them manually. The issues still need to be addressed and worked on.

I agree with Omolayo for not capturing all your citations.

Difficult to interpret or understand RG Score, some had very less research interest, less citation, participate in questions and answers are very rare but score is high comparative to others who have more all of the above mentioned points.

Sometimes you are so active on RG but still scores are declining

follow .......

Best regards: Julia

RG needs to improve its citation database.

Improvement regarding recommendations, shuld be some differences who is made recommendation, more points if recommendation made with person with high RG score.

I dont know why often I am active on RG but scores decrease.

Dear, Md Zafar Alam Bhuiyan ..

It was not clear to know that.

With regards.

The RG administrators don't follow the controversial discussions to provide their feedback to spell out the participants' comments.

I may say, so far so good !!!

Karen A. Darbinyan the points allocation for recommendations and reads is already in place. Arvind Singh and @Omolayo, the citation database of researchgate is Ok. Please don't expect it to be as liberal as Google Scholar. Be that as it may, every system has its limitations and researchgate is no exception. What is immediately discernible is the spate of media chat kind of questions and the idiotic answers and recommendations that follow. Surely, these kinds of questions and recommendations could be blocked or the member perpetrators punished.

Scoring scheme is not fixed. It is fluctuating regardless of your continuous activity.

Citations upgradation should be improved

The citations collection needs to be improved.

Yes citation database needs improvement.

Slow uploading and downloading with problems in citations capturing

Scoring scheme is not fixed. It is fluctuating regardless of your continuous activity and the citations collection needs to be improved. I think RG score also depend on the your paper impact factor gained because when I have uploaded a more than 7 impact factor paper of elsevier then my RG score increase more than 3 in a singe time.

ResearchGate is the best. I like how it functions.

I have a problem with citations , not all citations are mentioned .

Citation database should be improved because it's very slow, knowing very well that citation is the outcome of your research work, it shows that people are reading your work......

Andem Bassey Andem Seher Almedeny Bahtilla Marinette Krishna Kumar Yadav Hazim Al Dilaimy Krishna Kumar Yadav Jasim M. Muhsin Jaykov Foukzon Javan Doloei

yes, its also a well marked that process of citations should be upgraded.

Thanks to all.

Fateh Boutekkouk

Dear Friend, may be no.

Several times I have done it successfully.

Why in your case its negative I dont know.

Thanks

Dear Fateh, there is a drop-down icon to the right of your answer and time. Click on it. You will see both edit and delete. You could click on either depending on what you want to do. I think that particular limitation does not exist.

This is a very good observation. However, I am agreed with brother Andem Bassey, it means that the citation database is not quick and improved as google scholar. Just, I want to give an example, the number of citations of one of my articles are 24 in google scholar but in RG, it is only 14 !!!! Not only that, in google scholar, few of my articles have good citations but in RG, there is no citations in those same articles!!!

However, still I am really satisfied regarding the current functions of RG. It is an effective and essential social media for researchers.

RG is good because it is upgrading continuously, like it is not dormant and does not need money to subscribe like Academia, for example.

Next improvement hopefully will be a faster catch of all the citations. Why Google Scholar has the upper hand and is up-to-date on citations?

RG should update their list of journals to enable easy uploading. The mobile app should be made available on Google playstore too. The scoring system is not progressive rather it moves up and down without reasons. In all RG Team is doing well.

Following

Not all the peer jounal listed in RG for scoring. Also I do not like the idea to get RG score reduction.

Many journals are not available in RG database.

Dear Friend,

- Very strange of scoring system at RG.

- Not capturing all your citations.

+ But the good possibility to exchange of publications.

Best regards

RG is an effective and essential social media for researchers .I am really satisfied regarding the functions of RG . But I have some notices there is many journals are not available in RG and not capturing all your citations

Good platform for peer to peer interaction but score fluctuation from higher to below can't understand why the score acquired once come down later days that need to be justified

The main problem of ResearchGate is copyright law for sharing papers

A mediocre scientist can score 100 while a noble laureate sometimes can't cross 100.
